The Council on Aging recognized the Surgeon General’s declaration that social isolation among seniors is an epidemic. In response, they launched two intergenerational programs in Sonoma County: The Tellegacy and Lunch Companion Programs. Their goal is to bridge the gap between younger and older populations through meaningful conversation, addressing the pervasive issue of loneliness and isolation among seniors. These programs create a space for older adults to reminisce and reflect on their lives, sharing their beliefs, histories, and valuable life lessons.
